The Natural Products Research Network for East and Central Africa (NAPRECA) – Uganda symposium 2024
The Natural Products Research Network for East and Central Africa (NAPRECA), was established in 1984 by East and Central African scientists. The reason for its establishment was the realization that Africa is rich in biodiversity, but poor in research and development in natural products. The main objective of NAPRECA is to initiate, develop and promote research in the area of natural products in the countries of Central and Eastern Africa sub-region and to coordinate and maintain inter- and intraregional links among different research groups. Members of the NAPRECA network are Botswana, Cameroon, DR Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Madagascar, Rwanda, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe. Therefore, the NAPRECA Uganda Chapter has organized the symposium 2024 to disseminate research and innovations on natural products under the theme: Mining natural products for sustainable development. This symposium emphasizes the contribution of research and innovation as well as information sharing towards sustainable exploitation of natural products for national economic development.
